TUESDAY EVENING, PEISY OFFICIALS CHANGE PASS ORDER Dependent Members of Families of Railroaders Will Travel Free Official announcement of the with drawal of the order prohibiting trip passes or the uso of annual passes by wives and members of tbo fajnilies of the employes of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in accordance with the de cision of the Public Service Commis sioners, was received in Harrlsburg at noon to-day, and came from Vice- President W. W. Atterbury. through General Manager S. C. Long. The official order Is as follows: By general notico dated No vember 20, 1013, officers and em ployes weer advised that, under the terms of the public service company law of tho State of Pennsylvania, the free transporta tion between points within that State of members of their fami lies would not be permissible after January 1, 1914, and that tlio issue of {Misses covering sncli transportation after that date would consequently bo discon tinued. Ti»e Public Service Commission of the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania. by its administrative ruling No. 1, lias ruled that the granting by railroad comnanles of free passes to their officers and employes to be used for the trnns ]>ortation of dependent members of their families would not bo re garded by the commission as a violation of tho provisions of tho public service company law. This ruling will be accepted as affording protection against ex action of penalties for the issu ance of passes to dependent members of the families of officers and employee, and the general no tice of November 20, last, is therefore annulled. A supplemental order is expected from General Manager Long giving I detailed Instructions as to the issu-1 ance of passes, and in the meantime trip passes will bo Issued as in the j past until otherwise ordered. It is the belief, however, that instructions will follow covering violations of the pass privileges. Pennsy and N. C.

DUEL IS UPHELD 111 TIM ISSUE [Continued from First Fagc.J out comment, affirms Judge Kunkel Jn the case of tlie Commonwealth vs. the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company. The suit decided compels the railroad com pany to pay the State $28,G77 in taxes. The railroad company has nearly $6,000,000 of its bonded Indebtedness of $53,167,000 in the hands of savings Institutions with no capital stock. Un der the law auch institutions are ex empted from paying State tax on cor porate bonds they own. Tho law also provides that if the bonds contain an agreement that the issuing corporation will pay the tax, the corporation must deduct the tax from the interest. Means Thousands The bonds in question contained such an agreement, but the Lehigh Valley refused to pay on $4,598,000 of bonds owned by savings institutions, claiming an exemption, and declaring the act unconstitutional. An appeal was taken to the Dauphih County Court and last April Judge Kunkel ruled against the railroad, deciding that the taxes must be paid. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court, which sustains the judgment. It is estimated that more than a hundred other corporations are affect ed by the decision and the Auditor General has figured that approxi mately a million dollars may be col lected in back taxes under the de cision. Estlmatlnjc Taxes Acting under authority of State taxation laws, the Auditor General's Department will on March 1 begin estimating the State taxes of corpo rations which have failed to file their reports of capital stock and loans.

"Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble are, in almost every Instance, due to hyper-acidlty. Too much add first produces dyspepsia and Indigestion; next the stomach walls be come Irritated and It is only a short time until it eats through the wall*, causing ulcers In the abdomen, which In turn are followed by cancer and death; therefore stomach sufferers are required to avoid eating food that is I acid in its nature, or which by chemi cal action in the stomach develops acidity. Unfortunately, such a rule eliminates most foods which are pleas ant to the taste as well as those which are rich in blood, flesh and nerve building properties. This is the rea son why dyspeptics and stomach suf ferers are usually so lacking in that vital energy which can only come from a well-fccl body. For the benefit of. those sufferers who have been obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy sweet or fatty food, and are trying to keep up a miserable existence on gluten products, X would Ruggest that you try a meal of any food or foods which you may like In moderate amount, tak ing Immediately afterwards a tea spoonful of blsurated magnesia in a little hot or cold water. This will neutralize any acid which may bo pres ent ,or which may be formed, and in stead of the usual feeling of uneasi ness and fullness, you will find that your food agrees witli you perfectly. Blsurated magnesia Is doubtless the best food corrective and antacid ■ known. Drugs only upset the ston— ttch. Blsurated magnesia has no di rect action on the stomach; but by neutralizing the acidity of the food I contents, and thus removing the source •of tile acid irritation which Inflames tho delicate stomach lining, It does [ more than could possibly be done by any drug. As a physician I believe In the use of medicine whenever neces sary, but I cannot see the sense of dosing an Inflamed and irritated stom ach with drugs instead of getting rid of the acid—the cause, of all the trou ble. Get a little blsurated magnesia from your druggist, eat what you want at your next meal, take some of the blsurated magnesia as directed above, and you will find you sleep well and the usual belching gas, sour stomach, bloating, indigestion and other condi tions entirely removed."
